I believe the stock response to that is something along the lines of "if the [faith] community won't speak out and do something about their problems, then they must all take the blame and responsibility for them".

And that's fair too--based on where it comes from.

I suppose it's irrelevent but before people go blaming the religious right, this freaking psycho is a registered Democrat.
But I agree with Alio, and to take it a step further it absolutely baffles me how the mainstream right can continue to prop up idiots like Davis and Cliven Bundy as some sort of heroes. So freaking dumb.

JE you realize you just pretty much made the textbook case FOR islamaphobia.

Not sure how much attention you pay to the discussions on here, but I was aping the ridiculous argument usually made by Islamophobes and against which I always argue vociferously.

You may not be aware, but my Dad is an Anglican priest. I'm not religious, but I don't hold my Dad responsible for the fuckwitted things done by Christian zealots any more than I hold Mr Rafiq who lives two doors down and waters my plants when I'm away responsible for beheading journalists and blowing up public transit.

The only thing I hold grudges against with Middle Easterners is body odor.

I actually expected more excrement like this to happen since the ruling. Since its been pretty much one crazed bitch, I'd say that's a good thing.

In the interest of full disclosure, I once was one of those who said Muslims in the Middle East had a responsibility to law enforcement and to the world to out those within their home towns who were operating terror cells.

That said, today the problem is far too large for that, and those same people are now fleeing for their lives so the argument is now ridiculous. I still don't think I was wrong back then that average people should have stepped in. It may have helped prevent what we have today. I'll freely admit that may be too naive though. Obviously I don't live there and can't say what was or was not reasonable action.

[Johnny English]

I wasn't aiming it at anyone in particular.

[AlioTheFool]

Yeah, I didn't think that was a directed comment. Like I said, in the interest of full disclosure. Also, today I'd wholly agree with you that it's ridiculous to expect any Muslim anywhere to do anything.

I agree with JE, holy war is the only solution.

If I just woke up from a 1 year coma, I would assume this was from Onion.

If nothing else, I applaud Trump for his war on the media. People are getting tired of pundits spinning excrement all the time. The more he doesn't apologize for things people imply he meant, the better his numbers get.

Trumps just Obama for the right. Hes not trying to get elected by having good ideas, hes trying to get elected by being a celebrity.

Maybe soon well see pictures of Trump shirtless at the beach

^These guys.

So you're cool with him going after that bastion of truth Fox News?

Of course. I hate all media outlets.
